    Wow. That is some serious grasping at straws. All facts show that Land Rover has very bad reliability. Making excuses does not change reality.

    Automatic or Manual Transmission for Expedition Use?

    You can still drive out without a clutch. Try that when a similar thing happens to the auto. As far as mud any real overland vehicle has a sealing bellhousing.

    Automatic or Manual Transmission for Expedition Use?

    It is all fun and games until the day the starter does not work and you need to abandon the vehicle three days from civilization.

    Gasoline VS Diesel Engine for World Land Cruising

    For any serious overlanding diesel wins out. Range is better and this difference becomes much larger when you are driving a lot of off road. My truck runs an easy 1100 miles with on board fuel and range does not get a lot worse when much of that is in low range.

    Types of tire chains?

    For what use? Different types of chains are better for different things. For off road use, I find V bar, ladder chains to be the best. Easy to put on and off, great traction and indestructible. On road, we just use real tires up here where there is 8 months of winter, but something lighter...

    New Defender News

    You have missed my point. Enforcing the rules is fine. That is not all that they have been doing. They specifically stated that you can not say anything negative about the new Defender on this thread. That is not against any forum rules. In addition, they are censoring any off topic...

    People should be free to have different opinions as long as they stay within the rules. If you do not like their opinions, you do not need to read them nor respond to them. Censoring the content is not and should not be within the rights of the moderators. To be fair you are a large part of...

    New Defender News

    Yes. This is the most censored forum that I have ever seen. The moderators do not simple enforce the rules, but censor content based on their personal beliefs. As an example the statement that you can only state positive things about the new Defender in this thread is not a site rule. It is...

    Which handheld GMRS

    A public forum is not really the correct place to encourage illegal radio use. In any case, 2 Watts is the handheld limit for FRS. GMRS handhelds are allowed 5 Watts. The problem is that combination units must limit to 2 Watts and nobody wants to sell a GMRS only radio.

    Is a Jeep Wrangler with a Defender Front End considered blasphemy?

    I really do not believe that a forum like this is a place to find an unbiased answer. Enthusiasts that hang out on forums tend to be quite brand biased. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I’m not sure you will find many buyers.

    To be fair they did not fix the check engine light issue. They just did random repairs and it went away for now. You need the backup camera as you can’t see behind you in any modern vehicle.

    You just need to switch to a quality percolator.

    Latest “LC will be canceled in USA” rumor

    That is not true. They still build Land Cruisers. They just do not sell the real ones in North America.

    Discos going Solar.

    If you cycle a normal battery by using a fridge while camping, it will not last very long. If you have a fridge, you really want a second battery. You leave yourself open to not having enough battery to start the engine in the morning.

    confused on solar

    You don't need solar for your stated usage. The battery will be fine on its own.

    Hood Mounted Solar!!

    It would be $3000 if offered as a option with a new Land Rover.
